NOTICE TO TRUSTEES. Don’t buy any School Furniture until you see t-he new and elegant Per forated Desk for which Mr. W. 8. Beery is agent. When the Company began the manufacture of this desk, they recognized the fact that they must meet the combined and bitter opposition of all manufacturers of ordinary furniture, as this seating sounds the death- knell of all slat desks. Their star must at once begin to wane, and must set alongside that of the slab benches of the fathers. School boards have some pride r and want the handsomest and. best. Those who purchase the new desk can afford to and will laugh at the adherents of th« old style, homely aud uncomfortable slat furniture, and those who buy slat desks will soon be a:ln.med of themselves.
